Informal talks between union leaders and the company took place before Christmas after the publication of the company's strategic review in September.

Last week the company began a set of formal talks with Unite to discuss the review, including proposed changes to pay and pensions. But the talks have now broken down.

However, it is understood that further talks are likely and industrial action is not imminent.
